SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

Over the past 2 decades, industry analysts have observed that many other industries have made use of what is generally referred to as geographic information systems (GIS) in their day-to-day operations. During this time two related events occurred, both involving the release of previously classified military technology. The first was the commercialization of so-called spy satellites capable of taking high-resolution photos of virtually any location on the planet. The second was the U.S. government's declaration that high accuracy latitude and longitude locating signals broadcast from the U.S. Air Force's global positioning system (GPS) constituted a national resource that would be freely available to all peoples of the world. The confluence of those three technologies - GIS, remote sensing and GPS - led many analysts to predict that a powerful new industry was about to be born. Some boldly predicted it would surpass $30 billion in sales by 2005. The reality, however, quickly proved different and the industry, although showing growth, had by 2005 failed to produce even one sixth of the earlier estimated revenues. What might be termed the false dawn of remote sensing has ended, and a new somewhat smaller but more competitive industry has emerged. Indeed, remote sensing today is very much in the position of the automobile business in the early 1950s or the personal computer business in the late 1980s. Each had been a promising child that experienced a difficult adolescence only to emerge along a path that appears to lead to a successful adulthood.

Several studies, some of which have been sponsored by government agencies and other trade associations, have sought to predict the near future of remote sensing. Each was thorough; however each was also narrowly focused on only those activities conducted from airborne or space-based remote sensing platforms. BCC decided to undertake this report to provide the first comprehensive study of the industry that includes all four types of observational platforms. The result is the first comprehensive analysis ever undertaken of the entire remote sensing industry.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report is broad contains:

  • A comprehensive overview of the remote sensing industry, including descriptions of GPS, GIS, and remote sensing technologies, as well as important applications, such as: weather forecasting, intelligence gathering, climate change, public health, and more
  • A detailed market analysis of the 20 application areas for remote sensing, with historical data, compounded growth rates, and five-year forecasts to 2012, covering each region of the world, the four types of remote sensing platforms, and the 10 general types of remote sensing instruments
  • Important technology and advancements within the industry, including important historical devices and potential upcoming developments
  • A patent analysis detailing important innovations
  • Profiles for the major players in the remote sensing industry.

METHODOLOGY

To undertake this forecast we analyze remote sensing products currently on the market, announced products, U.S. patents, and products referenced in forward looking financial statements filed with the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission. The value of imagery has been calculated on the basis of published prices, and in the case of government agencies, by extrapolating from published program budgets.

This report specifically omits handheld instruments and instruments that obtain data only by coming in physical contact with substances. It excludes remote sensing products generated within the government exclusively for non-commercial purposes. An example of an excluded product would be a high resolution image taken by intelligence agency satellite and used to plan, execute and evaluate a military operation. However, it includes imagery acquired from the private sector by defense and intelligence agencies, such as imaging purchases made under the Department of Defense's (DOD) NextView program.

INFORMATION SOURCES

We also reviewed reports and studies prepared for peer-reviewed professional literature, and reports by the technical staffs of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Government Accountability Office (GAO), as well as Presidential directive and policy statements. In addition, we compiled data from scientific and technical conferences, presentations prepared for financial analysts, the United Nations, European Union, European Commission, European Space Agency and the World Bank.
